TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, while we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, the body is very good in the functioning and rebuilding forces within the system throughout, at the present time.
2. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body: First, in the circulation we find the body very good in the quality of the blood supply, not as much of sufficient quantity as might be used within the body for the resistive forces within the system. We find that throughout the system, the body has builded through the circulation well against those conditions that had to do with the blood supply in the upper portions of the body, and with the change in the system, that those of distress signs within the body have shifted somewhat, and more of the trouble is felt at present through the left side and lower down, then at any other time.
3. In the nerve system we find the body very good in many ways, though the strain that has been over the system gives still to the cerebrospinal nervous forces and centers, the reaction of conditions in the nerve forces of the sympathetic system, but the body is better through the nerve energy and forces than it has been in times back, and the resistive forces of nerve and cellular energy are better than before. The hypogastric forces in the pneumogastric centers show the effect that the climatic conditions have over the nerve forces of the body.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves we find as these: In the brain force, the body is very good, not as quick of discernment as it might be, though well balanced through mental forces. Those organs of the sensory system show the body has met the destructive forces well and has overcome much of the tendency of the centers governing the sensory organism, as was shown in the body in times back. In the throat, larynx and lung forces we find the action of the blood supply replenishing cell and tissue forces throughout, these organs and the ligaments as have been under strain there. The digestive tract shows the effect of the forces in the pneumogastrics, and the action of this condition over this portion of the body - this is better, you see, than has been. The liver and the organs of digestion below the duodenum are very good. The strain on the glands secreting new blood force in the lacteal forces gives the strain to the left portion of the body at present. This is rather a sympathetic condition than organic. In the liver, with the condition as is shown by the circulation in the hepatics, the overcharging gives an excess of secretions being eliminated through the kidneys, that is, on account of the condition in the liver itself, so we still have an excess of secretions thrown or eliminated from the system through the kidneys themselves, hence we would find an excess of sedimentary forces discharged from the kidneys proper.
5. To relieve the condition for this body we would keep those forces for the system much as we have at the present time. We would only take those of a stimulation to the body to give the correct vibration through the system with the air and water as is being shown or given in the body, as in this:
6. To one gallon of rain water we would add:

   Wild Cherry Bark...............4 ounces,
preferably from the North
side of the tree,
Yellow Root....................2 ounces,
Red Root.......................2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark...............1 ounce,
Elder Flower...................1 ounce.

7. Reduce this by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain, while warm add:

   Balm of Gilead.................2 drams,
Grain Alcohol..................6 ounces.

8. The dose with this would be teaspoonful four times each day before meals. The effect with this on the system is to give the stimulation to the organs and to the eliminating forces in the system, as in this:
9. The active principle from the Wild Cherry Bark with the other ingredients is a stimulation to the lungs, throat and bronchials and those organs above the diaphragm.
10. The Yellow Root is for the pneumogastric forces and gastric juices of the pyloric end of the stomach itself.
11. The Red Root is a stimulus for the secretions given by the pancrean forces and the spleen in its functioning from the blood cell forces as destroyed there.
12. The Prickly Ash Bark is for the blood supply as acted upon in the emunctory forces of the liver itself proper.
13. The Elder Flower is as that in the functioning of the organs of the pelvis with the action of the kidneys, with the stimulation from the alcohol and Balm of Gilead in these organs.
14. Do as we have given.
15. (Q) What causes the nervous strain on the system?
    (A) Hypogastric forces as produced in the body here from the strain on the lumbar region, and its reflex action through the sympathetic force in the secondary cardiac forces; hypogastralgia.
16. (Q) Is the climatic condition where the body is now located best for the body?
    (A) We have just given it. It is.
17. (Q) What time is required to bring this body to normal if the treatment as given is followed?
    (A) Sixty to ninety days. We are through.
